China’s Humorous Take on Trump’s Trade War with Memes and Videos

China is fighting back in the trade war started by Donald Trump, but in a funny way! While Trump has raised taxes on Chinese goods to bring jobs back to America, Chinese internet users are making funny videos and memes to show the irony. They point out that many of the products Americans buy, like sneakers and phones, are made with cheap Chinese labor.

A user, known online as Buddhawangwang, makes videos where he jokingly shows he buys nothing from the US. His videos get millions of views on TikTok, which is not allowed in China but can be used with special tools called VPNs. He trash-talks Trump, saying things like “Forget Make America Great Again.”

In these videos, Chinese people make fun of American officials who complain about China while enjoying cheap Chinese products. Some even show how to get around high tariffs by buying goods directly from China for lower prices.

Experts say these funny videos are a way for Chinese people to express their frustration. But there is a serious side, as this trade war is affecting China’s economy, which relies heavily on selling goods to other countries. In China, the government is removing negative comments about the trade war, but funny hashtags are trending, showing that people are aware of the situation.
